Diabetic Recipe of the Week: Onion Soup
Makes: 8 servings
Serving Size: 1 cup
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
1 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 large sweet white onion, halved, peeled, and sliced
1 large red onion, halved, peeled, and sliced
3 large leeks, washed and chopped (white part only)
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp. dried thyme leaves or 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 tsp. black pepper
6 cups fat-free, lower-sodium beef broth
8 slices French bread (2 inches in diameter, 1 inch thick each)
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
Preparation
1. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the white and red onions, and saute for 1 minute. Cover and reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, just until the onions begin to brown. Lower the heat if necessary to prevent burning. Add the leeks and continue to cook, covered, for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme, cook, uncovered, for 3 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
3. Add the white wine and black pepper to the onions, and cook over medium heat until the liquid is almost evaporated. Add the beef broth and bring to boiling. Reduce the heat to simmer, and cook for 5 to 6 more minutes.
4. Meanwhile place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Toast the slices on each side for 1 to 2 minutes, just until they are lightly browned. Sprinkle the slices with the Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses and place them under the broiler for 1 minute or until the cheese melts.
5. Ladle the soup into individual bowls and place a slice of cheesy bread on top.

Diabetic Recipe of the Week: Butternut Squash and Leek Soup
Makes: 9 servings
Serving Size: 1 cup
Preparation Time: 30 minutes (not including time for squash to cool after microwaving)
Cooking Time: 40 minutes (including 15 minute cool time before blending)
Ingredients
1 large (about 3 lbs) butternut squash
2 cups chopped, well-washed leeks, white part only (about 2 medium)
1/4 cups dry white wine
4 1/2 cups low-fat, reduced sodium chicken broth
1 tsp. ground white pepper
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 Tbsp. butter
Topping
3 Tbsp. chopped pistachios
1/2 cup plain non-fat yogurt
1/4 cup creme fraiche
1 Tbsp. minced fresh chives
Preparation
1. Place the butternut squash in a microwave oven (on the glass turntable or the rack). Microwave the squash on high for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the squash carefully with pot holders and set aside until it is cool enough to handle. Microwaving makes it easier to cut the squash. If you don't have a microwave oven or want to skip this step, proceed with step 2.
2. Cut the squash in half crosswise. Standing each piece upright, carefully peel the skin off with a sharp knife or vegetable peeler. Discard the skin. Set each piece of squash lengthwise on a cutting board. Cut each piece in half lengthwise. Remove and discard the seeds from the squash. Using a serrated spoon, remove any excess stringy fibers from the squash. Cut all the squash into 1 inch cubes. You should have about 10 cups of cubes.
3. Add the squash and leeks to a heavy, large saucepot. Add the wine and the broth. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the squash is tender, about 25 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes. Add in the pepper and salt.
4. Puree the soup, in batches if necessary, in a food processor or blender (use an immersion blender if you have one). Add the soup back to the saucepot and add the butter. Set over low heat for a few minutes, until the butter melts.
5. For the topping, toast the pistachios in a small, dry skillet for 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan frequently, until they are lightly browned. Set aside. In a small bowl combine the yogurt, creme fraiche, and chives. For each bowl of soup, swirl the yogurt mixture on top. Top with the chopped pistachios. Alternatively, you can garnish the soup with individual topping ingredients.

Cooking Time: 55 minutesIngredients
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 large onions, thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
3 lbs. carrots, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
3 oz. fresh cilantro (about 3 cups), washed, stemmed, and chopped
1 Tbsp. ground coriander
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
8 cups low-fat, reduced-sodium chicken broth

Preparation
1. In a large stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and saute for 7 to 9 minutes. Add the carrots, cilantro, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking.
2. Add the broth, lower the heat, and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
3. Puree the soup in batches and return to the stockpot to remain warm. Or, remove the pan from the heat and carefully use an immersion blender; then return the pan to the burner to keep the soup warm. Add the butter and stir until melted.
4. In a small, dry skillet, toast the almonds over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, just until they are lightly browned. Garnish each soup bowl with a drizzle of yogurt and a sprinkle of the toasted almond slivers.
